... same goes for Apple with me too. Can't stand touchy slidey mousey screeny type things, they set my teeth on edge, in much the same way (for those old enough to know) as finger nails down a blackboard, that's aside from the lemming factor.

You know my views on football but my husband has always been a sports supporter (which is why we have sky). To be able to buy cheaper services would be great. The satellite services I watch tend to be available on digital tv anyway.

Talking of which my reception is far worse than analogue ever was

and to rant on I agree with CC, Sky Player was far better. My mobile is just a phone with camers, no internet or complicated functions, but I used to be able to watch my sky on 4 registered computers/laptops so whichever daughter or event I was visiting I could watch. Now I only get to watch on 2!!!

... I swear I used to be able to watch Sky programs for free 'on demand' on my pc. In fact I used to tease my sister that she had to pay BT to watch their catch up service.

Now I have to 'rent' the first episode of the latest series of Futurama (I missed the first 2 eps but recorded the rest) and pay for the privilege of watching something that was shown for free weeks ago.

... when all the teams played at 3pm on a Saturday and if you wanted to see the match live you had to get off your butt and go and watch?

Personally, MoTD is fantastic, you get to see all the bits worth seeing and don't waste your life watching hours of dross. I get on with my life on a weekend, I don't have to know blow by blow how the matches are going, it really isn't that important - and settle down with Gary and pals to find out the scores, secure in the knowledge my chores are all done!

I had to reregister to get the system to recognise my package - but some programmes they do now seem to charge for so I stopped watching!! I pay enough on my main subscription. I think that may be to encourage you to move to phone services too and anytime+ - but I could be completely wrong

The only bit of football / rugby tv I enjoy is on Saturday afternoon I think - it is a line of commentators watching a different match each on a monitor and their reactions - whilst I don't understand many of the semantics - is priceless entertainment. Although my dad used to always watch with the sound off as he said the commentators got in the way

Which would be all well and good, but I already HAVE telephone, broadband and HD+ with them! Our router is the other side of the house and I don't want to pay £60 for a wireless bit for the Sky box to give me Anytime, so I assumed using the laptop program would be a work around.

All the programs get repeated any on 5 USA or 5* eventually so why bother paying sky it is not like any of the programs are that great. Makes no difference what you see them on. For the record I do like my Apple products as well as MIcrosoft .
